STATE & LOCAL SOLUTIONS
We offer a wide range of solutions, with a special focus on solutions that create access and opportunities for underserved and unconnected communities.
From creating access to crucial services through citizen engagement to addressing social determinants of health through free and affordable transportation options, we have several solutions to help with your most pressing HHS challenges.
With the uptick in severe storms, wildfires, and now the COVID-19 pandemic, and more, your justice and public safety efforts are more vital than ever. Our solutions will allow you to provide these life-saving services effectively and efficiently.
Your community needs to move faster to respond to changing economic and social conditions. Delivery of services through digital access, attracting investments & businesses, and more have become top priorities. These solutions give you a competitive edge.
With the rapid changes in our transportation needs and wants, governments have to adapt to micro-mobility options, driverless vehicles, connected traffic lights, and more. Take a look at some innovative transportation and infrastructure solutions.
Your teams need solutions that enable them to provide the same level of customer experience your constituents have grown accustomed to from the private sector. See what solutions we have to improve and measure your impact, provide transparency, and rapidly deliver on services.
Understand the multitudes of data collection sources, identify and collect new data, incorporate them all into a single location, and analyze it all with simple tools that allow you to get the insights you need to make change for your residents.
Finding out your residents wants and needs is harder than just asking? Easy to use platforms and tools allow local governments to reach their residents in near-real-time and understand how to improve policies and services.
